Thank you Sue from Arizona!

The last 3 days...best days ever! The organized person in me needed to find out all about the organization where I work from the first day I started. If I am to start new programs and bring people to this campus, I have to know what all is going on. Long story short (see "The joys of working with people that are stuck in tradition")...the more I looked into it, the more frustrated I got from how unorganized and chaotic things were. So I attempted to find out how things were organized and be pro-active about new ideas that would benefit everyone, which lead to 1. being chewed out for trying to do so, and 2. me realizing I was up against an army. Thanks to these last 3 days and Sue from Arizona...vital people on campus were able to participate in a 3-day marketing workshop where a professional in strategic marketing was able to come and basically present and work through everything I've been trying to do since I started here last May. It's exciting to know that more people are on the same page and working towards the same goals, and that I also have strategic marketing skills that I didn't even know I had. This is definitely a work in progress that will take a lot of time and patience, but at least I won't get chewed out anymore because it's my job as an official marketing committee member now...that's a major plus.
